Dear Sir/Madam,
I am not sure if it is possible for you to circulate the following to the 3DEM network, however, if it is possible I would be grateful if you could circulate the details to any suitable candidates and/or colleagues who may have students who may be interested
The student I had appointed to the position described below has had to withdraw, at short notice, due to changes in their personal circumstances. As such, I presently have a fully funded PhD studentship available for a suitable candidate. The position is registered at Imperial College London within the NHLI, Faculty of Medicine. The project will involve both ultra-structural studies (inc. tomography), proteomics and electrophysiological studies. The laboratories involved are well equipped and resourced with dedicated access to much of the equipment being provided to the student.
I would ideally like to appoint someone as soon as possible, however, I can be flexible regarding start dates. If you could ask any suitable candidates to contact me directly (rfleck at nibsc.ac.uk), I would be most grateful.
Many thanks and best wishes
Roland
Division of Cell Biology and Imaging/Proteomics, Hertfordshire, UK
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship funded by the National
Institute for Biological Standards and Control, in conjunction with Imperial
College, London where the student will be registered and co-supervised.
Project: Differentiation and maturation of hESCM-derived cardiomyocytes.
Differentiation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines can produce
functional cardiomyocytes. However, it remains to be determined why
there are differences between lines in their proclivity for cardiac
differentiation and how to increase the proportion of cardiomyocytes
produced even from permissive lines. This is key to their use as a model
system for cardiac physiology, pathophysiology, drug development
toxicology and regenerative medicine. The project, will adopt a
multi-disciplinary approach for characterization and optimization
of hESC-CM production and maturation. Please see full project
outline at www.nibsc.ac.uk.
Candidates should have, or expect to obtain, a 1 or 2i class degree in
an appropriate life sciences degree, or a 2ii degree plus a post-graduate
degree at MSc level. An interest in cell biology, proteomics and microscopy
are important together with laboratory experience in one or more of the
key interest areas.
Students will be paid a tax-free stipend of £16,000 per annum. Fees are
only available to support EU students.
To express interest or make informal enquiries please e-mail, as soon as possible, Roland Fleck rfleck at nibsc.ac.uk
